These certifications allow Teichner-Walburn &
Assoc. to conduct Special Inspections as required by the County of
Hawaii, Building Department. Section 306 of the Building
Code requires that the owner conduct special inspections,
independent of the Contractors performing the work, for types of
work listed on the special inspection form.

The Building Department will let you know what
Special Inspections are required by them or your Architect/Engineer.

Special inspections that we can do for you are:

Concrete reinforcing steel (rebar).

Concrete placement

Structural steel high strength
bolting.

Structural steel welding.

Structural masonry

Special Grading, Excavation and
Filling.

Piling, Drilled Piers and Caissons

Special Moment-Resisting Concrete
Frames

Bolts in Concrete with Increased
Stresses

Special inspections do not
need to be initiated by the Building Department.
As the owner, you can contact us to perform a special
inspection on your project, in order to protect your
investment from problems that occur months or years after it
is completed.

The
County Building Inspector does not have the time to conduct
as thorough an inspection as we do. Plus, Building
Inspectors are experts on the Building Code, we are experts
in concrete, steel buildings and structural masonry, and we
have the knowledge and training that certifies that
expertise, that's why the Building Department requires
special inspections for certain projects.

In the area of High Strength Bolting, we can test bolting
assemblies using the Skidmore Wilhelm Model MS Bolt Tension
Calibrator, which allow us to verify that:

Fasteners meet minimum
bolt tension specifications.

Impact wrenches are
properly calibrated.

Tension-control fasteners
sheer off at the correct tension.

Bolting crew understands
how to achieve proper tension in all types of fasteners

Have the right
installation tools and equipment.
